Want to ride the roller coasters or spin on the Tilt-a-Whirl? There’s no better way to spend a weekend than at an amusement park. Here are five of the biggest, best amusement parks in and around Maryland.

Busch Gardens has spinning tea cups, a train ride, a sky ride, water rides, a carousel and four roller coasters. There are kid-friendly versions of many of the rides. There’s also a Sesame Street Forest of Fun.

Hershey Park has 11 roller coasters, some of which are not appropriate for children. They also have water rides. Best of all, however, is Hershey’s Chocolate World, which is sure to please anyone with a sweet tooth.
